About this file
This file contains bidding language requirements for the Massachusetts Small Business Purchasing Program (SBPP) that applies to a snow removal and ice management services contract for three Corrigan Mental Health Center group homes located in Fall River, Massachusetts. The services are intended to ensure safe access for residents, staff, visitors, emergency responders, and service providers throughout the winter season at the specified addresses: 122 Madison Street, 480 Stanley Street, and 58 North Court Street.
The SBPP establishes a procurement preference for small businesses with principal places of business in Massachusetts. To qualify as an SBPP participant, businesses must be registered in COMMBUYS, maintain their principal place of business in the Commonwealth, have been in operation for at least one year, employ no more than 50 full-time equivalent employees across all locations (or fewer than 26,000 combined employee hours per quarter), and report gross revenues not exceeding $15 million based on a three-year average. Non-profit firms must additionally be registered with the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office, maintain current filings, and hold tax-exempt status under Section 501(c) of the Internal Revenue Code. While all businesses may submit responses, SBPP participants meeting the best value criteria will receive contract award priority, with non-SBPP bidders evaluated only if no SBPP participant meets the evaluation standards. Bidders are responsible for maintaining current SBPP status at submission and throughout the contract term, and misrepresentation of SBPP eligibility may result in disqualification, debarment, contract termination, and other penalties. Additional information and assistance are available through the SBPP webpage at mass.gov/sbpp or the SBPP Help Desk at sbpp@mass.gov.

Small Business Purchasing Program (SBPP)
Program Background. The Massachusetts Small Business Purchasing Program (SBPP) was established pursuant to Executive Order 523 to increase state contracting opportunities with small businesses having their principal place of business within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Pursuant to the SBPP, it is the intention of the issuing department to award this Small Procurement to one or more SBPP participating business(es) as described below.
SBPP Award Preference. While all businesses, no matter the size or principal place of business, may submit responses to this solicitation, should an SBPP participant respond and meet the best value criteria as described in this solicitation, the SBPP participant shall be awarded the contract. The Strategic Sourcing Services Team (SST) will not evaluate submissions from non-SBPP participants unless no SBPP Bidder meets the SSST’s best value evaluation criteria.
SBPP Participation Eligibility. To be eligible to participate in this procurement as an SBPP participant, an entity must meet the following criteria, and be marked as an SBPP registered business in COMMBUYS:
1. Have its principal place of business in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts;
2. Been in business for at least one year;
3. Employ a combined total of 50 or fewer full-time equivalent employees in all locations, or employees work less than a combined total of 26,000 hours per quarter; and
4. Have gross revenues, as reported on appropriate tax forms, of $15 million or less, based on a three-year average.
Non-profit firms also must be registered as a non-profit or charitable organization with the MA Attorney General’s Office and be up to date with all filings required by that office and be tax exempt under Section 501(c) of the Internal Revenue Code.
SBPP Compliance Requirements. It is the responsibility of the Bidder to ensure that their SBPP status is current at the time of submitting a response and throughout the life of any resulting contract. Misrepresentation of SBPP status will result in disqualification from consideration, and may result in debarment, contract termination, and other actions. To learn more about the SBPP, including how to apply, visit the SBPP Webpage.
